Visual and Semiquantitative Assessment of 123I-Ioflupane SPECT in Probable Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Its Association with Autonomic Dysfunction: A Retrospective Study
Background/Objectives: Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a clinically heterogeneous neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive, neuropsychiatric, motor, and autonomic manifestations. Reduced striatal dopamine transporter availability on 123I-ioflupane single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) is an established indicative biomarker of DLB. However, the associations among expert visual interpretation, regional semiquantitative dopamine transporter measurements, autonomic manifestations, and demen …
